Dr. Tonya Thames Taylor had comments about public relations and a Police Officer of the City of Coatesville.

Dr. Taylor said that there is no brochure about Coatesville available at City Hall that a person interested in the City can take with them.

Dr. Taylor, “Did you know that only forty five percent of the homes in Coatesville, in the greater Coatesville area sell? Forty five percent; ask any real estate agent in the area. Sad, because we have charming homes here in Coatesville… If we’re going to employ a public relations person please work on building up the shattered image of Coatesville as a City that is up and coming not dead and gone.”

Dr. Taylor had more to say, she is going to make a presentation of an issue that is called “Turn it down or pay up”. 

Dr. Taylor, “When you are talking about curfew, when you’re talking about looking at the City, look at what the noise in the City does.  Or if you’ve ever tried to pray and you hear misogynous music, that’s anti-police, anti-human, anti-American and basically pro crime; it’s very disconcerting. 

And lastly I’d like to say this: We have a wonderful police officer. His name is Curt Geiger. He did a fantastic job of protecting the City from some of, well some of its interesting elements. And, this is what I wrote about him; he’s responsive, he is a responsible officer who cares about his job.  He basically proactively listens and did his police work. He followed it up. As a college professor and elected official in another capacity, and member of the NAACP and other social networks here I can say that with officers like Officer Geiger in Coatesville; that Coatesville can shed its reputation of sometimes having dispassionate Officers.”
